 In what way?
 3. Motivation
 Reading a poem (English Integration)
The Sun
The sun rises in the east
When it is time to rise
The sun sets in the west
When it is time to rest
The sun gives us heat and light
It shines all throughout the day
It makes the world so gay.
 Poem Comprehension
Ask: What is the poem all about?
Where does the sun rise? Where does the sun set?
What does the sun give us?
How do people feel when it shines all throughout the day?
 C. Presentation:

The Sun is at an average distance of
about 93,000,000 miles (150 million kilometers) away
from Earth. It is so far away that light from the Sun,
traveling at a speed of 186,000 miles (300,000
kilometers) per second, takes about 8 minutes to reach
us.
The sun is the center and the only star in the solar
system, which is the source of heat and light. It is
composed of burning gases such as hydrogen and
helium. Gravity pulls together the gases. Like other
stars, the sun produced large amount of energy and it is
released in outer space as heat and light. Without heat
and light, life on earth would be impossible. Without the
sun the plants cannot make photosynthesis and they
will die. People and animals who depend on plants for
food will not survive.
 Ask: Is the sun’s heat and light beneficial to people? Why?
B. Exploration
A. Group Activity (Cooperative Learning)
Activity: How beneficial is the sun’s heat and light?
Divide the class into 3 groups
Each group is given an envelope.
Study the pictures and identify the benefits that living things can get from the sun.
Discuss with your group mates the beneficial effects of the sun on living things.
Write your answers on a newsprint.
Group Activity will be graded using a Rubrics ( see attached Rubrics)
B. Setting of standards in doing the activity.
C. Go around and follow-up the conduct of activity by each group. Remind
each group that they will be presenting their gathered data in class after
finishing their activity.
D. Group Reporting
 Explanation
